The blood-red saber shattered, and Blood Demon's body was cleaved in two!
The divine infants in his sea of consciousness and Purple Mansion were all slain!
Blood Demon of the Approaching Dao Realm had fallen!
Gui Xuan Daoren's eyes widened. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Blood Demon had been a powerhouse at the same realm as him, at the fourth level of the Approaching Dao Realm!
How could Xuancheng Daoren, who was only at the first level of the Approaching Dao Realm, kill him with a single sword strike?!
"He hid his cultivation! What a despicable man!"
Li Chunxiao saw through the truth at once, his expression turning ugly.
This Xuancheng Daoren was even several hundred years younger than him, yet his cultivation had actually surpassed his!
Xiaxuan Zhenren cried out, "How did Uncle-Master Xuan Cheng do it?"
Hua Yunfei said, "Grand Uncle-Master Xuan Cheng is not at the first level of the Approaching Dao Realm, but the seventh!"
The Way of Lying Low to Seek Immortality
The seventh level of the Approaching Dao Realm!
This Xuancheng Daoren had concealed an entire six realms!
He was not at the first level of the Approaching Dao Realm at all!
Xuancheng Daoren's expression was cold. "I gave you a chance just now. You failed to cherish it, so do not blame me!"
With that, he swung his sword.
Gui Xuan Daoren screamed and fled frantically.
He unleashed a sky full of ghostly shadows, gathering them into a thick wall of ghosts in an attempt to block Xuancheng Daoren's attack!
But before the enormous gap in strength, his Dao arts were like paper mache. They were torn apart in an instant, and the sword light fell upon Gui Xuan Daoren.
"No!"
Gui Xuan Daoren let out a miserable cry. Before his words had even faded, his entire body shattered beneath the sword light. The divine infant within him could not escape either and was completely annihilated!
Two swords had slain two Approaching Dao Realm experts!
Nether Ghost Master wailed, "Master!"
At once, he drew Xuancheng Daoren's attention, who casually waved out a sword strike.
Nether Ghost Master died instantly, his body turning to powder.
"Grand Uncle-Master is incredible!"
"Too strong, simply too strong!"
"Is this the top-tier foundation of our sect? Being part of the Backer Sect fills me with incomparable pride!"
The Backer Sect disciples cried out in wild delight.
Xuancheng Daoren's power was deeply imprinted in their minds, leaving them utterly shaken!
Approaching Dao Realm experts were nothing more than a single sword strike to him!
Suddenly, a disciple shouted, "That old bastard is trying to escape!"
Li Chunxiao soared into the sky with the Li Qingchang brothers, tearing open space and plunging into the void!
"Grand Uncle-Master, hurry and chase them!"
A disciple's eyes widened as he cried out anxiously.
"They are elders of the Sun Moon Divine Church, and Li Chunxiao is even a Supreme Elder. Their status is noble; they cannot be killed."
Xuancheng Daoren shook his head and did not give chase.
As one of the sect's ancestors, he needed restraint, and even more, reason.
Li Chunxiao and his two sons could not be killed!
If they were killed, it would mean tearing all pretenses apart with the Sun Moon Divine Church. A bloody battle would surely erupt then!
It might even sweep across the entire Eastern Region!
The Backer Sect had no Ultimate Emperor Armament and would be at a severe disadvantage against the Sun Moon Divine Church.
Therefore, even if they had joined forces with the Nether Ghost Palace in an attempt to destroy the Backer Sect, he still had to endure it. He could not kill them.
Such were the rules of the cultivation world.
You could kill them, but the consequences were yours to bear!
Xuancheng Daoren would not gamble the entire Backer Sect on it.
Now was not the time to lay all cards on the table with the Ultimate Sacred Ground.
Moreover, openly clashing with the Ultimate Sacred Ground did not align with the sect's philosophy.
"Damn it!"
"That damned Sun Moon Divine Church! I remember that the destruction of a major sect thirty years ago seemed to have their shadow behind it."
"Exactly! This time, they actually reached their hands toward the Backer Sect!"
"Luckily, Grand Uncle-Master came to the rescue. With Grand Uncle-Master Xuanhe absent, the sect would have been in grave danger!"
The disciples were so furious that they beat their chests and stomped their feet.
Yet the Sun Moon Divine Church was a colossal existence, possessing an Ultimate Emperor Armament. Openly, it was not something the Backer Sect could oppose.
Xiaxuan Zhenren said, "Uncle-Master, how should these Nether Ghost Palace elders be dealt with?"
Upon hearing this, everyone, including the several Celestial Realm Supreme Elders of the Nether Ghost Palace,
had their legs tremble, terrified beyond measure.
They stared at Xuancheng Daoren, fearing that he would directly strike and kill them.
The several dozen Blood Demons had also lost their earlier arrogance, like eggplants battered by frost.
"Please... Senior..."
Splat!
With one sword strike, everyone fell!
Xuancheng Daoren showed not the slightest mercy. He acted decisively and slew every Nether Ghost Palace elder.
Thus, everyone from the Nether Ghost Palace who had come to invade was wiped out!
Only several dozen Blood Demons remained standing there in a daze, their hairs standing on end. Their leader was a Blood Demon at the fourth level of the Celestial Realm. Gritting his teeth, he spoke:
"Our Blood Demon Clan has an ancestor at the ninth level of the Approaching Dao Realm. If you kill us... then you will surely..."
Splat!
His head flew high into the air. His divine sense was annihilated, and he died miserably on the spot.
"The Sun Moon Divine Church can at least be said to have some standing. What the hell is your Blood Demon Clan?"
"A mere ninth level of the Approaching Dao Realm, and you dare flaunt it?"
Xuancheng Daoren snorted coldly, not placing the Blood Demon Ancestor at the ninth level of the Approaching Dao Realm in his eyes at all.
The remaining Blood Demons trembled in terror, their teeth chattering. They did not dare utter another word.
This old man was not ordinarily ruthless!
"Grand Uncle-Master."
Hua Yunfei floated to Xuancheng Daoren's side and cupped his fists. "These Blood Demons are still useful. Please show mercy."
"Oh?"
Xuancheng Daoren looked at Hua Yunfei, a glint appearing in his eyes. "You brat... you are not simple!"
He actually could not see through the young man before him at all!
Hehe...
It seems that in the path of lying low, my Backer Sect has someone to carry on the legacy...
Xuancheng Daoren had "passed away" and gone into seclusion three hundred years ago, so he did not know Hua Yunfei, who was only a hundred years old.
"Grand Uncle-Master, I am Hua Yunfei, the one hundredth-generation chief seat of Daoyuan Peak."
Hua Yunfei introduced himself.
"The son of that brat Cangqiong."
Xuancheng Daoren laughed heartily and patted Hua Yunfei on the shoulder, saying in surprise:
"A tiger father has no dog son. Before this old man went into seclusion back then, he clamored that he would never be willing to retire in this manner in the future. How is he doing now?"
